Utah

If you don't know, it's the "Bee State." Thus the trippy bee hive.

I got a job there in 2001, I moved into a studio apartment in November. The building was old, from the 1910s, and was therefore both beautiful and a little beat up. The heating system was the old style metal radiator, visually pleasing but with no thermostat. It was just on, all the time, blistering hot. So I would leave a window open. The snow would storm in, melting about a foot from the window, keeping the air perfect. Snowglobe room.
